SS-Panzergrenadier-Regiment 10 Westland EM's Cufftitle produced by BeVo-Wuppertal

In June 1940 on the orders of Reichsfuhrer of the SS Heinrich Himmler the Waffen SS recruited troops from Flanders. The regiment is formed within a few weeks, under the name SS-Regiment “Westland“. In December the regiment was attached to the 5th SS Division “Wiking”.

Full length, 44cm, EM/NCO’s, final pattern (circa September 1943-May 1945) machine woven black rayon construction cufftitle with BeVo woven Latin script: “Westland” in silvery/grey cotton threads. The cufftitle is bordered at both the top and bottom edges in stitched silvery/grey cotton threads and has the typical “salt and pepper” patterned reverse. One end of the cufftitle has the machine woven trade name, “Bevo-Wuppertal” also in silvery/grey cotton threads indicating manufacture by Beteiligung Ewald Vorsteher in Wuppertal. The cufftitle is in overall very good un-issued condition.

This is one of the rarer cufftitles to find!!
